Bringing together individuals, organizations and
resources to foster community action
Cook It Up!
The London Community Resource Centre's new, collaborative, community-based program
held its first session August 17, 2009, and under the tutelage of one of London's premier
chefs Paul Harding, of the Only on King, the first class was an undeniable and resounding
success.
The program, which is geared to youth ages 13 to 18, is gearing up for its next cooking
session, sure to tantalize the taste buds and culinary curiosity of youth with an outdoor
barbecue under the guidance of chef Chris Meloche, owner of Flavour in Time Catering,
August 31, 2009.
In addition, the program's first fieldtrip is set for September 14, 2009, to Dolway Organic
Gardens, where youth will get an up-close and detailed look at the operations of a seasonal
producer of fresh, local produce.
For any youth still interested in applying for the program, do not despair. There is still limited space available for additional
participants.
Click the Cook It Up! application link (top of page) and fill out the electronic application, or apply by e-mail to cookituplondon@gmail.com
-- just write a short essay, or shoot your own video application, load it up on YouTube and send us the link.
Youth can also drop off or mail a written essay application at the London Community Resource Centre, 652 Elizabeth St.,
London, ON N5Y 6L3, or e-mail lcrc@lcrc.on.ca with "Cook It Up! Application" in the subject line.
Tell us about your interest in the art of cooking. Tell us why cooking is an important skill. Tell us what you, as a participant,
expect to get from the program and tell us about your eagerness to work with professional chefs and farmers.
But when you tell us, and this is important, have some fun. Be creative. Who knows, maybe you'll get a call and you can have a
chance to Cook It Up!
Only successful applicants will be contacted prior to project start-up.
Thank you, see you in the kitchen.
